Penguins are aquatic flightless birds, highly adapted for life in the water. They have counter-shaded dark and white plumage and flippers for swimming.
Penguins are one of the most popular birds in the world. They are also some of the most unique and interesting creatures. Penguins have been known to mate for life, which is why they make such great pets.
While it is illegal to keep penguins as pets in the United States, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a collection of toy penguins or even a black and white dog, cat, or bird as a companion that would do well with a penguin-inspired name.
Here are the best names you can give to your penguin.
